Abstract
The article makes an examination of the complex system of planning which has evolved around the industry since 1945. By reference to case studies of planning for development and planning for restriction in the face of environmental degradation the difficulties which have resulted from such activity in Britain are outlined. Finally, some conclusions are drawn with regard to the lessons to be gained from British experience in those countries which are presently experiencing tourist growth. the major lesson being that to avoid many difficulties development should best take place within a generally accepted and defined spatial plan.
